Pastor Paul will reach out to you soon.
Our schedule is: Sunday School 10am | Sunday Worship 11am | Sunday Evening 6pm. We are located at 1270 Red River Rd Winchester, KY.
We adhere to traditional Baptist beliefs, including the authority of the Bible, salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, believer's baptism by immersion, and the priesthood of all believers.
When you walk into our front door, you will be met by some members to familiarize you with the church. They will direct you to a comfortable worship center, classrooms in the basement area and a newly remodeled nursery near the lobby for mothers who may need to care for children. Our traditional worship service is typically dismissed by 12:15, but most folks tend to stay and talk a while.
We welcome any interest in becoming a member of our church family. Please reach out to our pastor for further conversations about what it means to become a member at Allansville!
We exist to worship God, disciple one another, and proclaim the gospel.
After 25 years of ministry, Amy and I joined Allansville Baptist Church in July of 2023. I believe that all people are called to glorify God, serve others and make His name known. I do this in my life through a personal relationship with God, a deep love and service to my family first and then to the people of our church, and by seeking to point people in all stages of life to Christ as their hope for help and eternity. I love the Winchester community and desire to guide and support those in need. I am honored and grateful to serve as a pastor to the people of Winchester. Let's get together over lunch, phone call or cup of coffee and get to know each other!
Romans 3:23 - "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." The reason we come short of God's glory (God's righteousness or perfect nature) is because "all have sinned." Sin is simply disobeying God in any area. We must agree with God that we have sinned.
Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death..." By wages, the Bible means penalty or debt. There are consequences of your sin. This penalty is death - an eternal death which is also called the Second Death. Revelation 20:14-15 - "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. The sis the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Secondly, you must realize that if you die in your sins, then you must pay the penalty of for sin by dying in hell - forever.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
After stops 1 and 2, a person might readily accept that everyone is a sinner, that God loves us, and that Jesus died for us. But stop number 3 takes us deeper into the bad news, before highlighting more of the good news.
Upon hearing that “the wages of sin is death,” someone might ask, what does that mean? This stop provides you with the opportunity to highlight God’s wrath towards sin, His dealings with the unrighteous, and the reality of a literal heaven and a literal hell (Romans 1:18-32; Matthew 13:42; Revelation 21:8). The earned payment for sin — all sin — is death. Much like a human court system has a standard of law that if not kept leads to punishment, God has a law and there is punishment for not keeping it. More than that, as human beings who readily admit that we are sinners, we must also admit that we cannot keep God’s law faithfully. Therefore, we all are condemned in God’s court and deserve the wages for our sin: death.
But Romans 6:23 also includes good news! In contrast to our inability to keep the law of God and our wages earned by sin, God gives the gracious gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. This aspect of the gospel provides you with the opportunity to know and share what Jesus did on the cross. He died in the sinner’s place. He paid the penalty for sin so the sinner wouldn’t have to. He gave His life so you could live. By “eternal life,” the Bible means that you don’t need to die and end up in hell forever. You don’t have to experience the judgment of God upon sin for all eternity. You can live in heaven with Him for all eternity after this life ends. The Bible teaches that everyone will die (everyone knows this is true) and that after death in this life comes a moment of judgment (Hebrews 9:27). That moment of judgment does not need to end badly.
God has given us a gift. His name is Jesus Christ.
Although Jesus died to pay everyone's sin debt, not everyone is on their way to heaven. You must personally receive God's gift of eternal life. You must believe what Jesus has done of you, choose to no longer trust in self or other things and ask Him to save you, placing your faith in Him. Acts 2:38 - "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that you sins may be blotted out..." Romans 10:9 - "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Romans 10:13 - "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." If you would like to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, simply and humbly: 1. Admit to God that you are a sinner. 2. Tell Him you believe Jesus took your punishment by dying on the cross. 3. Ask God to forgive you of your sins. 4. Tell God you are turning form self to trust Him alone for heaven.
1 John 5:13 - "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of he Son of God."
